A Glass Half-Empty?

摘要

Copies of the September Vogue dot the reception area of Google Basecamp on the San Francisco waterfront, where you go to become one of the select few to experience Glass, the first mass-market computer worn like a pair of spectacles. Inside the magazine, expressionless models wearing Glass wander a retrofuturist landscape. Waiting for your 30-minute fitting, you sip champagne while you decide whether you want your frame color to be shale, charcoal or cotton. As Google sells the first 10,000 of the gadgets to developers and handpicked members of Glass' Explorers program for $1,500 apiece, the company takes every precaution to ensure that the device is considered hip.
